When have you ever heard any liberal say "Reagan was a great president", or Bush for that matter? If anyone loves those guys its conservatives, democrats, even some republicans. You are clearly mistaken.

Reagan in the eyes of many older fiscal/social conservatives is the paradigm of Republican and conservative values. He sold 1) the predominantly white, predominantly Western European (and therein predominantly Anglo-German) middle class a story of economic self-sufficiency and a self-image as the "makers" of American history as opposed to the "takers" (welfare queens, etc.), 2) a foreign policy nominally founded in Paleoconservative principles that was focused as much on framing American virtues as they were in painting communism as the evil empire 3) a distinct focus on moralizing and religiosity that appealed to the large sect of social conservatives who viewed the ills of contemporary American life as a failure to enforce Christianity in a Christian country. And of course, his rhetoric and posturing coincided with the fall of the Soviet Union. Many American conservatives take a victory lap for this with little acknowledgment of internal happenings and how they contributed to the collapse of the USSR.

Wouldn't you find plenty of Tory British people still liking her? I'm sure that old lady would have an equivalent cursing Reagan and/or Bush in the US.

Every time I see some European talking about American politics in a highly liked comment, I brace myself for inaccuracy... Liberals don't like Reagan and they definitely don't love (either) Bush. And you misspelled Reagan's name.

@@JackSparrow-re4ql Michelle Obama and W. Bush are "good friends", when H.W Bush died Obama spoke at his funeral. When Nancy Reagan died Hillary praised her for having a low key and good response to the AIDS crisis. Yeah no shit democratic voters don't like these people that's because the Democratic party doesn't represent its own voters. But when Reagan died and there was a days long funeral procession neary a peep from people, when George H.W Bush dies neary a peep on the damage he did while head of the CIA, he gets called "a good statesman" people aren't engaged and don't hold their politicians accountable in my country period. I'm not saying the UK is perfect by any means but from our vantage point Brits and Europeans more broadly are just better at democracy and fighting for it.

She didn’t decriminalise homosexuality that was Harold Wilson, in fact she passed a law which made it illegal to mention homosexuality in educational institutions

@@jmasters7515 she voted for it under Wilson. Also Wilson didn't extend decriminalisation beyond England and Wales, but she did.

@@jmasters7515 as for that law you mention, both houses of Parliament passed it.

@@myoctobersymphony4446 "as for that law you mention, both houses of Parliament passed it" Of course both houses of Parliament passed it, that's what makes it a statute in the UK. That's what makes it a law. "she voted for it under Wilson. Also Wilson didn't extend decriminalisation beyond England and Wales, but she did." This was in the face of the LGBT+ rights movement who pushed for the decrim covered in the Sexual Offences Act 1967 to be extended across the entirety of the UK. The Northern Ireland decrim in particular came as a result of a gay man appealing to the European Court of Human Rights (the body that decides on legislation in EU countries, Thatcher of course is well-known for her feelings on the EU) It was the product of organised pressure for the state to change its treatment of LGBT+ people, not Thatcher's good will. These campaigns took place in both Labour and Conservative governments) Thatcher went out of her way to undermine the rights offered to LGBT people in the 1967 act, with the aforementioned law banning local authorities to provide education on same-sex couples. It was called Section 28, and she signalled to the social conservatives that made the core base of her support and part of her traditionalist platform in a speech in 1987 in Conservative Party Conference rejecting the notion that people "have an inalienable right to be gay". Homosexuality was framed as a personal habit or even a product of the so-called "permissive society" gone too far. Section 28, which was in force in 1988, was also part of a wider assault on local authorities' independence from central government, as many of them, particularly around metropolitan areas, were seen as Labour strongholds, and therefore a space for socially progressive politics. I would strongly encourage anyone who comes away with this idea that Thatcher was a force for good for the LGBT+ community in the UK, to really familiarise themselves with British LGBT+ history and British politics, look up any film or series that chronicles the lives of LGBT people in the UK in the 1980s, or literally look up any statement from LGBT+ British famous people who were old enough to live though the Thatcher years. There's a reason why the LGBT+ movement showed immense solidarity with the NUM miners strike, culminating in the group "Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners".

@@subalternprecariat she had nothing against gay people and personally had almost nothing to do with Section 28, which was a backbench amendment that passed both houses with support from Labour in the Lords. She never once referred to that law in any of her speeches, that quote you refer to was made before it was made into law and even then she wasn't talking about such a policy.

Damn, I just watched videogamedunkey and laughed at the game, I hadn't actually thought about it, but this makes so much sense

I wasn't even questioning it. It just made sense intuitively.

I don't think neoliberalism is fascist! I like fascism a lot and I think they have drastically different ideological roots, fascism is more binded to romanticism and it is in a way a form of antimodernism

@@anneallison6402 cool story bro

​@@anneallison6402 Heidegger...is that you?? Let's lay off the "dasein" a bit... But seriously, I guess with an abstract/nebulous enough conception of it, sure, "romantic", but I don't think it's a coincidence the essence of that romanticism is based in ultranationalism, if we look at the historical material conditions out of which it emerged, ie if we look beyond the superstructure of postmodern embrace that theoretically comprises the cultural sphere, we can see that it takes this ultranationalist form precisely because a military keynesianism keeps perpetuating the existing mode of production" and leaves power relations/class in tact. In other words it's no coincidence it ends up as a thanatos imperialism as that military industrial complex is required to generate that "romantic" nationalistic sense of meaning while preserving the current social order, specifically its ideological alignment toward "the suppression of the left amidst popular enthusiasm" as Robert Paxton puts it in the Anatomy of Fascism. So, if that made sense lol, do we see how that inevitable process, grounded more materially (what capital will allow essentially) trends towards exactly what PunishedFelix is saying? I think Carl Schmitt tried to make what I _think_ is your point, in "defending 'the political' - friend/enemy distinction - from a Liberal global dictatorship" but to me either of these options are unsustainable death spirals distinct only in their authenticity/aesthetic. Seems to me the only actual choice for humanity is the same one espoused by Rosa Luxemburg in 1918 Germany, uncoincidentally executed by the SPD's coordination of the freikorps paramilitary (later formalizing into the SS, oopsies; only pointing out to try to highlight the inevitable tendency towards "fascism" of ultranationalist imperialism to maintain the material relations/social order): socialism or [continued] barbarism.

Reminded me of some guy, _"A philosopher produces ideas, a poet poems, a clergyman sermons, a professor compendia and so on. A criminal produces crimes. If we take a closer look at the connection between this latter branch of production and society as a whole, we shall rid ourselves of many prejudices. The criminal produces not only crimes but also criminal law, and with this also the professor who gives lectures on criminal law and in addition to this the inevitable compendium in which this same professor throws his lectures onto the general market as “commodities”_ - some guy, Theories of Surplus Value

@@Bisquick I think what makes video games interesting is that they are very material in how we interact with them. They represent not just the closed off interface of a television but also a specific material interaction between not only all modes of its production but the production of the game itself between the user and UI. The direct interaction with the game produces a material relationship and this is already being actively exploited in non-gaming scenarios (specifically many types of UI involving 3D rendering, navigation or user control are very influenced by games). Likewise, UI developments in the workplace also influence games. (Most famously the "Windows" of most operating systems, both as a constraint of development and as a borrowed influence). Both reflect off each other and produce a more and more refined interface for conducting labor. This is a large reason why we transitioned to service economy - we are employing people who can navigate these interfaces. In fact, accessibility (the trend of making tools more usable for disabled people) exists in neoliberal lore for the sole reason that it changes material relations between workers, consumers and certain kinds of bodies previously omitted from capitalist intercourse. This can historically be observed by analyzing how accessibility has evolved in the last 50 years. And guess who now suddenly cares about accessibility 😂 If anything, games mark a sudden departure from post modernism, back into the world of machines. The language game bullcrap blows up and exposes itself. But games are also so incredibly socially powerful that they can completely change the way we interact with labor.

How utterly pathetic and sad as fuck.

Thatcher was based and better than the trash we have now. He’s right about the miners. I work with ex miners myself and actually agreed with Thatcher and would take her in a heartbeat over what we have now. At least she was competent. Ruthless but effective. Plus most of the British left back then were very socially conservative unlike the absolute shite show liberal Labour we have now. I blame the new gen for destroying the left for the working class.

@@GB-sh9st With all due respect. Noah-Caldwell-Gervais does great critiques of games and he highlights social and political issues if they are related to a topic and explores them but these explorations are incidental and not the primary goal. The goal is a critique and the exploration of social and political issues is incidental. The goal for other channels mentioned is the exploration of social and political issues and the critique is incidental, entirely dependant on the discussion of aforementioned issues.

The ability to commercialise IP is what gives inventors/entrepreneurs the financial incentive to bring new things to market. I'm not sure what you are arguing against here? The concept of IP itself?

@@threethrushes IP is not a concept. IP is an actual legal structure that is incredibly oppressive to the working class, artists and inventors. Don’t just look up intellectual property in the dictionary and call it a day. The dictionary definition of IP is basically pure propaganda from the most powerful of the capitalist class. You have to do a little more research to learn how IP laws actually function

@@threethrushes We need to educate all leftists about this essential point: IP is not property in any sense. 99% of the leftists I’ve come across don’t yet understand this. Broadly, intellectual ‘property’ are government granted monopolies that ban everyone else from using their own property, and matter in general, in particular ways. So IP is clearly not property or even capital. IP is monopoly over everyone else’s own property. So IP is way worse than property, commodities, capital or any means of production: IP is anti-property.

@@threethrushes The 2008 economics book ‘Against Intellectual Monopoly’ and the 2001 essay ‘Against Intellectual Property’ are both as important as Marx’s ‘Capital’! Each has nearly flawless argumentation. All leftists need to read both (free online). If you can’t read them now, then write down both titles so you can tell others so they can read them.

@@threethrushes “Against Intellectual Monopoly” gathers all the empirical data that humanity has on IP laws and the conclusion is clear: IP laws do not promote innovation.

No one said you couldn't be innovative when you're not getting paid for it... But it sure does help regarding grand-scale ideas. A modder is a single individual. Try getting a whole company to make something when they all also want their needs met. To do that efficiently you want profit incentives.

It's unfortunate the fact the creator were cooperatives and the game itself is explicitly about anti-capitalism. I think alot of people would interpret it as too on the nose instead of successfully promoting anti-hypercapitalist ideals.

@@krunkle5136 I disagree. Many people need things spelled out for them. Besides, they're other, non-explicit anti-capitalist games made by cooperatives, like Orphan Age.

@@GloriaInvictis Orphan Age is definitely a step up. My thought is spelling something out can leave open the possibility of right wingers pointing it out and calling it propoganda. I'm more of a fan of the studio Ghibli approach and having the ideal society, of workers treated fairly in possibly coops, playing out in the background with the main story and characters being the focus, whether or not the main story has anything to do with theory. Positive examples, rather than painting a portrait of the big bad. The following gets more ranty: I think the problem I had with Tonight We Riot is that it had a straw manning thing going on. The real thing isn't a cartoon, but a system with members carrying out their interests, especially in a way that holds growth as god, and them simply being unaware of how irresponsible the police are and the sheer amount of parking lots. They're still human, and the ideal is they're taxed and reforms are carried out peacefully in a way where no one is dehumanized. It's too easy to seek emotion and catharsis, instead of following the sober trudge that's needed for well planned collectivization where trust is preserved.

@@krunkle5136 Well, see, here's the problem: There's no way to have a peaceful revolution and there's no way to reform an inherently murderous system. So yeah, Tonight We Riot had it spot on. Besides, "unaware of how irresponsible the police are"?! We're living in a world where police officers are active members of neo-Nazi parties. And they brag about it. What "irresponsibility" are you talking about?! The only people who are unaware are those who want to stay unaware because the system is mostly in their favor.

@@GloriaInvictis the problem with unpeaceful protests is it causes a reaction and continues the cycle. It's not a method that creates a long term stable situation where thoughtful reforms can be made. The American system is moreso one of fear and minimal accountability. And yes, power brokers often live in bubbles where it's hard to be aware of anything beyond what one's syncophants say is happening. There's too many interests targeting these people so they stick with what they know. And yes it's messed up that some police officers are neonazis donning the Punisher logo, but that's far from all of them. But that is a glaring problem that should be focused on. The revolutionary thing to do is to blend in and live out the ideals of socialism, like being mindful of public good, seeking ways to deatomize society, seeking education and gaining skills without being focused on what the market wants all the time.
